At 14:28:04 on May 12th, just when everyone slowly began to doubt whether the earthquake would come, at this moment close to Beichuan and Wenchuan, suddenly there was a dull loud noise in the sky, and the earth began to shake violently, and the ground kept making a huge noise.

The dust in the sky rose directly into the sky, covering the entire city in the dust, and the violent shaking spread almost instantly throughout most of China and the surrounding neighboring countries, and the sudden outbreak of the strong earthquake made the whole world seem to lose a few seconds in an instant, but after the shock, almost everyone in the country couldn't help but jump up in place, and burst into violent cheers! Especially those residents of the hardest-hit areas who have been relocated, when they see the county town that was destroyed almost instantaneously on the big TV of the collective security in the gathering place, these people feel the deepest.

And in the live broadcast of the big TV station, after the earthquake broke out, all the hosts almost came back to their senses in a daze, the first sentence was a sentence, this is a miracle! An unprecedented miracle! Just look at the footage of the high-speed camera coming back before the network signal is lost due to the earthquake, and you can see how huge the damage would be if the earthquake happened without anyone knowing.

Although before the earthquake happened, many people thought about the occurrence of an earthquake, after all, such a costly project, if it was just a waste of work, wouldn't it be a waste of money? But when the real earthquake happened, everyone regretted it, looking at the unprecedented destructive earthquake, everyone would rather all this work in vain, not want the earthquake to happen, but this is impossible.

Zhang Yang can't say what kind of mood he feels, but there is no doubt that he has a lot of feelings, such a big earthquake, it is impossible to have no casualties, but at least he saved nearly 100,000 lives in the hardest-hit area! And I don't know how many crippled people don't have to be crippled anymore! How many people will never lose their families again! Zhang Yang is already content.

However, he also knew that the next political work would probably be very busy, and although the personnel and most of the important property had been evacuated, the direct economic losses caused would probably still be at least hundreds of billions of RMB, and the damaged houses alone and the property left in the houses would be at least four or five hundred billion RMB.

Fortunately, such as bank vaults and the like have been prepared in advance, this part of the loss can be avoided, and there are some large enterprises, important factories of local enterprises, etc., although not all relocated, but at least have made some precautions, temporary reinforcement, this reinforcement to play a role not to say, but even if only one percent, it is a huge success.

"It's a miracle that crosses races and borders"! Most countries in the world reported on this every other day, and there is no doubt that in the face of such natural disasters, human power is insignificant. The next day, at 9 a.m. on May 13, the State Council made its first report to the whole country.

“…… This earthquake had a magnitude of 8 and a magnitude of 10! The fault dislocation time is Wenchuan County, Sichuan Province! Beichuan County! Mianzhu City, Shifang City, Qingchuan County, Mao County, An County, Dujiangyan City, Pingwu County, Pengzhou City and other areas are almost in ruins, but our only good news is that we predicted this unprecedented earthquake! And we made the move ahead of schedule! We currently have a death toll of 3,273! The number of injured is about 73,824, most of them are minor, only a few are serious, this is already a victory, but we have more to do, because we don't know if there are still people under these collapsed cities who have not been evacuated! ”

“…… Here, on behalf of the State Council, the Party Central Committee, I would like to thank the Star Group, if it were not for the Star Group that detected this earthquake, according to the prediction of the Ministry of Earthquakes of the People's Republic of China, if an earthquake of such intensity and intensity had occurred suddenly, the death toll would have exceeded 100,000! ”

It was the prime minister who spoke, and when he heard this report, Zhang Yang was still a little embarrassed, he had tried his best, but he didn't expect that there would still be more than 3,000 lives leaving this world, but thinking about it, the scope of this earthquake is too large, Zhang Yang can't eliminate the impact of the entire earthquake, that's impossible, he has done his best to do this.

However, in this way, the impact of the entire earthquake has actually been minimized, first of all, because the people in the hard-hit areas have been evacuated, and only the occasional people who have stolen their own evil intentions are left, so the opening of some damaged roads can be carried out steadily, and there is no need to be in such a hurry.

Second, the troops were deployed in advance, such as a regiment of soldiers near the county town of Beichuan, who retreated to some absolutely safe open areas 12 hours before the earthquake, and even if the surrounding mountains collapsed, it was impossible to pose a threat to their lives.

In fact, according to the statistics, only 5 soldiers in the troops arranged in advance died for various reasons, after all, this kind of thing is impossible to completely avoid all accidents, so that with enough manpower and material resources to join, these soldiers can search the entire town as soon as possible to see if there are any left inside, and there are no people who need to be rescued.

Once there are no wounded, then the clean-up work in the disaster area will become very simple, the second is because the materials are arranged in advance, and the wounded are relatively small, the demand for yào things and so on is not particularly large, and the yào things that have been mobilized in advance can completely keep up.

In fact, when the casualties are negligible compared to a large earthquake of this scale, the loss of materials and so on is not much. And the cleaning of many buildings is very simple, such as some seriously collapsed buildings, directly use a bulldozer to push off and rebuild, but this is not the case in the previous life, the rescue work alone lasted for more than a month, there are people under these ruins, and now, the cities that have become ruins are basically empty cities, and this work is not simple.

To paraphrase the phrase of the foreign media, this is an unprecedented miracle! The matter of the earthquake was resolved, and Zhang Yang also shifted his attention from this incident. There were no huge casualties like in the previous life, and after aftershocks that lasted for nearly half a month, when the inspection department confirmed that the threat of aftershocks was no longer enough to cause large-scale damage, the clean-up of these ruined counties finally began.

The more than 300,000 evacuees have burst out with the most enthusiastic work efficiency, they are all working hard to rebuild their homes, with the participation of these people, although not all, but at least the entire work of cleaning up the rubble is carried out in an orderly manner.

In June, the indym of the United States, the national independent mortgage company collapsed, which also means that the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States broke out completely, and then the fifth large American bank went bankrupt in the subprime mortgage crisis!

And although Zhang Yang doesn't remember when INDYM collapsed in his previous life, he knows that it was definitely not in June, that is to say, his appearance has advanced the time of the outbreak of the economic crisis a lot, but the impact is not very large, with the fall of INDYM, the US government has completely begun to fall into a mess, Bush is no longer in the mood to deal with this matter, and what will follow is the US general election, and then Obama will have a headache.

In the U.S. stock market, while the major banks were sold off, the stocks of the major companies listed in the United States under the Star Group began to rise strangely, and when the economic crisis generally began to fall in stocks, it was undoubtedly a manifestation of the confidence of shareholders in the Star Group.

When the Wenchuan earthquake, which was hailed as a miracle of the world, was slowly cooled to people's attention with a relatively perfect ending, the economic crisis also affected people's eyes more and more, and Zhang Yang had to start to frequently enter and leave the State Council. To be honest, Zhang Yang doesn't have a very good opinion, and the only way to solve this matter and make domestic inflation fall is only one way, and that is to relax exchange rate restrictions! Let the market determine the economy!

That is to say, the central bank needs to relax the control of the RMB exchange rate, but in this way, it is undoubtedly equivalent to helping the United States, and part of the economic losses of the United States will be transferred to the head of the republic, but although the losses of the republic will be very large, it can be said that all the problems have been completely solved at once, and there will be no intensification of domestic economic inflation like in the previous life, and the only difference between this life and the previous life is that because of the influence of such and such a publicity, the domestic dollar foreign exchange is not much!

In the previous life, the country held 3.2 trillion US dollars in foreign exchange reserves, and in this life there are only hundreds of billions of US dollars, only more than 700 billion US dollars in foreign exchange reserves, and the foreign exchange reserves of 3.2 trillion US dollars in the previous life occupy a huge part of the circulating RMB, and in this life these RMB are still in circulation in the private sector, so that the impact of the economic crisis on China is much smaller than in the previous life.

Therefore, under the influence of Zhang Yang's life, China can make another choice, unlike the previous life, which has only one choice.

"Wealth is hidden from the people...... It is easy to publicize what you say, but in this way, the economic pressure on the government will be a major test! The prime minister smiled bitterly, the so-called wealth for the people, is to find a way to increase the money in the hands of ordinary people, so that ordinary people can be relatively supported, so that the circulation of RMB will be accelerated, and China will naturally get rid of the economic crisis quickly.

But this is also painful, the first is that the country must first bear huge losses, this loss is afraid to have trillions of RMB, the second is that domestic enterprises are afraid to go bankrupt a considerable part, after all, once the RMB exchange rate is opened, relax the control of the foreign exchange market, then it means that the competitiveness of the domestic relative to foreign countries will be weakened, and the competitiveness of domestic companies can not compete with foreign equivalent companies, there is naturally only one end.

The third is to pay attention to the injection of international capital, the whole world is an economic crisis, international capitalists want to ensure that their capital and property are not lost, and naturally give priority to buying those things that will not cause too serious damage to their property, for example, people who used to hold US dollars will definitely buy RMB when they see the appreciation of RMB.

Once there are more people buying RMB, it will undoubtedly accelerate the appreciation of RMB, so that the value of the products that can be purchased with the money in the hands of ordinary people in China will become higher under the same conditions, but the competition capital of domestic enterprises is fundamental, and the cost will not come down, so these enterprises will face bankruptcy.

If the enterprise goes bankrupt, then the workers will be unemployed, the workers will be unemployed, and such a high unemployment rate is a political problem, but there is a benefit that is not good in China, that is, the domestic social security is not particularly perfect, such as the United States, people who do not have jobs, the state will support, but the country cannot reach these at present, so people who do not have jobs will find ways to find jobs, and in this way, it will undoubtedly attract international capital to enter, because China has a huge market!

"I don't think the impact is particularly big." Zhang Yang pondered for a while and said, in fact, the profits of domestic enterprises are too large, even if the RMB appreciates, the profits of these enterprises are only decreasing, although there must be bankruptcy, but there will definitely not be so many European and American countries! Then the unemployment rate will be within a tolerable range.

And the appreciation of the RMB, most of the goods began to reduce the price, will promote the enthusiasm of the RMB, the previous to buy one thing, now you can buy two, you will invisibly spend more money, in this way, and the stinging of the merchant, in other words, as if it has become a small profit but quick turnover. If it is not enough, I am afraid that the labor pains in the middle will take half a year, or even a year. And the solution to the excessively high unemployment rate during this period is also very simple, that is, the state to increase investment! Start large-scale infrastructure construction! This requires a large number of workers! This is the best way to survive the economic crisis. RO！。
